September 12, 2012, 2:17 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- The world's most extensive festival for drawing and participatory art is revving up to take place from October 1st 2012, reports LondonTown.com, the UK'S number one London website.
Organised by the Campaign for Drawing, The Big Draw is a festival with an international reach, that involves schools, galleries and community organisations globally. Last year 22 participating countries got involved; and this year over 1000 venues will take part.
The central hub for the festival in 2012, which takes place from 1st -31st October, will be The Wellcome Collection, located on Euston Road in central London. The Collection is unique in the UK for its well-funded fusion of science and the arts: it is an institution driven by the links between medicine and culture, the body and the mind.
